Faber Book of Contemporary Irish Poetry by Paul Muldoon
Taking the death of Yeats as its starting point and ending at the present day, The Faber Book of Contemporary Irish Poetry offers unusually generous selections from the work of ten writers - Patrick Kavanagh, Louis Mac Niece, Thomas Kinsella, John Montague, Seamus Heaney, Michael Longley, Derek Mahon, Paul Durcan, Tom Paulin and Medbh McGuckian - the most consistently impressive Irish poets after Yeats.The editor, Paul Muldoon, is the author of seven collections of poems and an opera libretto, Shining Brow. He is widely regarded as the leading Irish poet of his generation.
Paul Muldoon was born in County Armagh in 1951. He read English at Queen's University, Belfast, and published his first collection of poems, New Weather, in 1973. He is the author of ten books of poetry, including Moy Sand and Gravel (2002), for which he received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, and Horse Latitudes (2006). Since 1987 he has lived in the United States, where he is the Howard G. B. Clark Professor in the Humanities at Princeton University. From 1999 to 2004 he was Professor of Poetry at Oxford University. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, Paul Muldoon was given an American Academy of Arts and Letters award in 1996. Other recent awards include the 1994 T. S. Eliot Prize, the 1997 Irish Times Poetry Prize, and the 2003 Griffin Prize.
